Bought this product after browsing many other brands and trying to keep costs down in order to purchase a stronger graphics card.The packaging the unit came in was tidy and sturdy and it was obvious no careless postaging would have easily damaged them.Installation proved a little difficult, however I associate this with the motherboard I used rather than the units themselves. The cards work perfectly with the motherboard dispite not being on the official supported list (Asrock Z97 anniversary).The cards themselves were sturdy, a tad bulky perhaps but no more than the norm. I had no issue with space when installing.- Overall a very nice 16gb of Ram at an affordable price. Would buy again.

The reason I decided to buy new ram was because I realized after upgrading my PC from windows 8.1 to 10 that one of my ram sticks was faulty. I had 2 4 gig sticks. It seemed to have been a reason my PC was surprisingly slow and my games like Cities Skylines didn't play well.For one thing, when I ordered it, it was during a Canadian Post strike, so it was about a week late. But, the tracking was good and it arrived the day the strike was done. I found that quite nice and I was worried it would take weeks.It really was a breeze to install into my PC, and I instantly saw results.My PC is a lot faster, and I can play the games I like without FPS issues finally. I can multi task a lot better as well without lag issues.

Needed the upgrade from 8gb for a server requiring 12gb. Works just as expected, and even managed to sell my old ram to someone for $30, making this ram even more of a steal.Obviously falling short of todays standard of ddr4, but since good ddr3 still performs well, it still makes for a good upgrade option for people wanting a little more but don’t want to buy a new computer.The heatsinks could’ve been a little smaller, given that these sticks probably won’t be so overclocked as to warm up too much, requiring me to move the RAM to the 2/4 slots over my mobos suggested 1/3 because of the aftermarket cooler I have. Zero issues from that, but thankfully that fit or else I would’ve had to figure out a different cooling situation,

First I would like to say that when I installed the ram sticks I was met with a BSOD. Then a complete OS Repair. This may have been from the sticks. Or it could have been from the bios install or whatever but it did seem to work after a couple of tries. Now that they work really well ! I'm up to 24 gb of ram and Im super happy with them ! I'm currently only running them at 1330 hz. Which could be the reason they work. Other reviews here did say that they did not function when run at 1600 Hz. All Imall I'm happy. Just got kinda spooked at first.

I had to return the ram due to being incompatible with my motherboard. It was able to run 1333 MHz easily, but not 1600 MHz even though I used XMP. I'm guessing it's that my motherboard doesn't support a command rate of 3T which the ram is rated at. However, most boards shouldn't have a problem with it as one stick was working fine at 1600 MHz, but with them together, it made Windows BSOD at 1600 MHz. In the end, still worked well and the speed difference between 1333 MHz and 1600 MHz isn't huge, but I'm a speed freak :)

Works great with my Foxconn H61MX motherboard. I haven't tried overclocking them, so I don't know how well the heatsinks work, but for this price heatsinks are a bonus.The only thing to watch out for is when you install it, the heatsinks make the ram a bit taller, so it could potentially interfere with your CPU heatsink/fan if it's too close to each other. I had to modify my CPU fan a bit to get the RAM to fit.Overall, my PC is much happier with 16 GB of RAM.

I'm writing this review from the unit I installed this product on. Wanted to add memory to my computer to be able to run some of the heavier applications for graphic design. It has been just over a month since the install, and with repeated abuse, it has not failed. Keep in mind, when adding memory to your computer, which contains memory already, make sure you add it to proper slots, or it will not recognize it. I would recommend this for anyone who needs RAM.

Excellent DDR3 1600 memory for the price. I have two of these 16 gig kits running in my gaming machine (yes 32 gigs of ram) and would never go back. I can run multiple instances of all my games without having to worry at all. Without overclocking or modifying anything, running two of these kits gets me a 7.7 in the Memory (RAM) category on the Windows experience index. I would highly recommend this memory to any gamer, or performance enthusiast.

I was originally looking at Tiger and New egg for all the components to rebuild my desktop and found everything equal or cheaper here on Amazon (With my prime membership anyway). So ordered from here. I thought these were a decent price for as much memory as I'm getting. Hooked everything up and it works. I've been computing with these for about a month now and all is well.

Great memory - it flies and looks great.Easy to install, it's just a little bit taller because they come with heat shields to protect them and keep them running hard. But it's not really going to be a problem in most machines.They look great too, most of the interior of my case is black and these still stand with the lighting.Highly recommended.-D

When I built my rig a few years ago I planned to be able to upgrade the memory and get some extra life out of it. My wife was complaining about some slowness so I picked this up and doubled the memory from 16Gb to 32. What a difference. Easy to install. Get speed tests results. And much improved performance. Have no qualms recommending this memory.

I got the ram for an upgrade to my computer without spending on a new one, saved me some money for a few years, worth the money if you have an older computer and have the space on your motherboard for them, it’s been 2 + years and no problemsWorth the upgrade for older computers, just read your motherboard info to make sure it will support them

Great product, at a fair price. Easy to install.Little hiccup on delivery... we chose delivery in two days since we would be home on first day... but Amazon Prime is exactly that, and delivered in one day only... so we were'nt home, then the carrier lost it for a of days in between the two attempts.Came a few days late, but was worth the wait.

I decided to upgrade an 8 year old pc which included doubling the ram. With an upgrade from 8gb to 16 GB there was a noticeable speed improvement on many basic tasks since.It's got a heat spreader on the top and can be a little tight to get your fingers in to clip in.Good value for money too. Just over £50 when I purchased.

I paired these with an Asus P8Z77-V LK motherboard running Windows 8 and it works seamlessly. The RAM is super fast and I have experienced zero issues with either stick. However, when I bought these back in February they were $89.99 and the new price of $127.99 seems pretty steep so I may avoid buying a second set.
